Chat app project

In this project I wanted to implement a basic chat application with authentication, rest API for communication and websockets for real-time data transfer.

Set up

I separate the project in client and server

Set up the server

cd server
# install dependencies
pnpm install
# build
pnpm build
# run
pnpm start

Set up the client

cd client
# install dependencies
pnpm install
# build
pnpm build
# run
pnpm start

Basically the same
